1 STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE RECTANGULAR COLUMNS WITH GLASS FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMERS Salahaldein ALSADEY 1, Abdelnaser OMRAN 1, JAYAPRAKASH 2 1 School of Housing, Building and Planning, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Minden, Pulau Pinang, MALAYSIA 2 School of Civil Engineering, Engineering Campus, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Nibong Tebal, Penang, MALAYSIA Abstract This study exemplifies the results of comprehensive experimental investigation on the behaviour of axially loaded Reinforced Concrete (RC) rectangular columns repaired with Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Fabrics. Totally ten RC rectangular specimens were fabricated and tested under axial compression load. Two specimens were retained as control specimen and the remaining eight specimens were partially pre-cracked to 6% of the ultimate failure load of the control specimen and repaired using GFRP fabrics s. This study investigated three variables included slenderness ratio, spacing amount and orientation, and number of plies of GFRP s. The result of this investigation indicates that the gain in compressive strength varied between % and 5 %. It was also found that the above mentioned parameters affect the ultimate compressive load capacity and modes of failures of the repaired rectangular columns. Furthermore, the experimental result shows better agreement with existing theoretical model. Keywords: Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer, Ultimate load, Confined, Strengthening. 1. INTRODUCTION Several traditional techniques have been used for repairing reinforced concrete columns such as concrete jackets and steel plates. The main purpose of confinement is to increase the load carrying capacity and ductility of the reinforced concrete columns. It has some disadvantages such as increase of dead load; increase of owns section of column which leads to increase its flexural stiffness. This steel plate jacketing system is not a feasible technique to use in aggressive environments. Engineers have used traditional materials such as wood, steel, and concrete to confine and improve the structural behaviour of concrete members. Since 198, there has been a worldwide increase in the use of composite materials for the rehabilitation of deficient RC structures. One important application of this composite retrofitting technology is; the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets to provide external confinement to RC columns when the existing internal transverse reinforcement is inadequate (Yousef, 26). Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is a composite material comprises fibre in a polymer matrix. The FRP is typically applied with an epoxy resin. The epoxy resin is used to align the fibres in proper direction and bond the wrap with the structural member. The advantages of the FRP include high strength to weight ratio, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, high specific strength, and durability (Raghu et al., 21). While FRP can be used to strengthen many different structural members such as beams, columns, slabs and chimneys. A structure probably needs upgrading due to the increased loading and/or reduction in the load carrying capacity, corrosion of steel reinforcement, chemical attacks, aggressive environments, construction errors, and old design codes. For example, bridges are sometimes designed according to standard specifications however, due to increased traffic volume; they probably need to improve the load carrying capacity and structural performance of the structures. Recently, Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) has been used to repair and rehabilitate concrete columns, beams and slabs. This FRP composite has many potential characteristics as compared to the use of traditional techniques. FRP sheets have a high strength to weight ratio, very high resistance to corrosion and chemical attacks Tome VIII (year 21), Fascicule 1, (ISSN ) 77
2 which makes them, unlike steel plates and concrete jackets, suitable for structures subjected to aggressive environment. In addition, FRP sheets are easy to handle in site and do not add to the dead load of the structure. The ACI report (1996), reported that FRP products were first used to reinforce concrete structures in the mid 195s however, in spite of the earlier research on the use of FRP reinforcement in concrete, commercial application of the FRP in concrete was not recognized until the late 197s. 2. THEORETICAL MODELS 2.1 International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO)-1997 For rectangular sections with an aspect ratio (h/b) less than 1.5, the enhanced compressive strength can be calculated with the following equation: f cc = f c (1+5 ρ f cos 2 θ ) (1) ( b + h) where, ρ f = 2t f, θ 45 bh The axial load capacity enhancement due to the longitudinal fibres is ΔP = A f cos²θ f ƒ (2) where, A f = cross-sectional area of the fibre sheets, ƒ ƒ =.2Ε ƒ cos²θ <.75ƒ ƒu A higher fibre strain may be used if the section is effectively confined Mander et al., (1988) Model Mander et al. (1988) proposed a model to calculate the increase in concrete compressive strength due to confining pressure provided by transverse reinforcement in reinforced concrete columns. The model has been extended to the case of FRP-confined circular and square reinforced concrete by sections several researchers (Wang and Restrepo 21). For rectangular sections in which the confining pressures in two orthogonal directions: f cc = α 1 α 2 f c (3) where α 1 = 1.25[1.8 ( ) -1.6 flx f ' c flx f ' c -1] (3.1a) α 2 = [1.4 fly flx -.6( fly flx ) flx f ' c +1] (3.2 b) f lx = f ly. f lx = ρ jx (.5 E p ) (3.4a) f ly. = ρ jy (.5 E p ) (3.5b) where, Εp is the elastic modulus of the FRP jacket,.5 represents the transverse strain in the FRP jacket is provided in the determination of lateral confining stresses when the nominal compressive strength of the concrete at ultimate state is evaluated. The reinforcement ratio ρ jx and ρ jy are defined as follows: ρ jx = 2 (t j / t y ) (3.6a) ρ jy = 2 (t j / t x ) (3.7b) where, t j is the nominal jacket thickness, t x and t y are the overall column cross-section dimensions BS 811 (1997) A rigorous approach would entail the consideration of the confinement effect of transverse steel links; however, this is implicitly accounted for in the following formula for the axial load capacity of the reinforced concrete column with nominal transverse links: N =.67 f cu Ac+A s f y (3.8) (without safety of factor: 1.5 for concrete, 1.5 for steel) where, A s = total area of longitudinal reinforcement, A c = net area of the concrete 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This part discusses the experimental investigation of reinforced concrete rectangular columns bonded externally with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) fabrics. However, it presents the results of series CL (size: 1mm x 15mm x 9mm) and series CS (size: 1mm x 15mm x 5mm). Ten rectangular columns were tested with variables included spacing of GFRP s (6mm, 1mm, and 14mm), orientation ( and ±45 ), layers of GFRP (1 and 2 layers or plies), and slenderness ratio (6. and 3.33). It also attempts to discuss the comparison of experimental results with existing theoretical models. 78
3 Periods Table 1: Result of average compressive strength of cube Compressive Strength (MPa) Cube 1 Cube 2 Cube 3 Average Strength of Concrete 35 The test results of concrete 3 strength cubes at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 25 shows the average compressive 2 strength of concrete cube at various ages Ultimate Failure Load 1 and Mode of Failure 5 Series CL: In control specimen CL1, first crack in the specimen observed at a compressive load of kn. As applied load increased, cracks Age (Days) were developed in the vertical Figure 1. Concrete strength versus time direction at the top of the column. At last, the top end of the specimen failed in compression at a load approximately of 38 kn. In the precraking phase of the specimens CL2, and CL4, the observed cracking patterns of precracked specimens were similar to the control specimen, whereas there was no crack observed in columns CL3 and CL5. After repairing, these specimens CL2, CL3, CL4 and CL5, were failed at a failure load approximately of 56 kn, 54 kn, 5 kn, and 56 kn respectively. In the GFRP strengthened columns, the failure was associated with concrete crushing with sudden rupture of GFP s at the top or bottom ends of columns. When the confinement of GFRP discrete fails, the concrete core was unable to withstand the load, which corresponds to a stress significantly over compressive strength of concrete. The rupture of the confinement thus triggers a sudden failure mechanism. Popping noises were observed at various stages of loading which was probably due to the micro cracking of the fibre s. Besides, failure of GFRP s was observed at or near the corner of the specimens due to the stress concentrations. The maximum gain achieved in specimens CL2, CL3, CL4, and CL5 with respect to control specimen were approximately of 48%, 42%, 32%, and 48% respectively. It can be seen that the confinement of reinforced rectangular columns with GFRP increases the compressive strength of the column.

The behaviour of the precracked specimen was similar to the control specimen. The repaired specimen CS2 failed in GFRP rupture with compression failure at top end of the column at a failure load of 54 kn. However, the specimen CS3, and CS4 attained a failure of crushing of concrete and rupture of GFRP wrap at an ultimate compressive load of 5 kn and 48 kn respectively. The specimen CS5 failed in cracking in the unstrengthened portion of concrete is near the bottom of the column. The obtained gain in percentage of enhancement of compressive load of the repaired rectangular columns CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 with slenderness ratio 3.33 was 5%, 39%, 34%, and 45% greater over the control specimen.

Axial Stress (MPa) Axial Strain (microstrain) Figure 5: Axial stress-strain curves for control and repaired specimens in series CL Axial Stress (MPa) CL1 CL2 CL3 CL4 CL5 Whereas, in series CS, the repaired columns shows similar trend in axial strain curves probably due to the effect of lower value of slenderness ratio (i.e. 3.33).

Fibre strain Response: Figure 7 indicates the axial load versus GFRP fibre strain for repaired rectangular columns. One strain gauge used in each repaired specimen. The fibre strain was measured by placing strain gauge in the fibre direction of the at the top of the specimen. It shows that the fibres strain values of the repaired columns were very minimal up to the load approximately of 2MPa, however, strain values increased at higher rate probably due to the formation of crack. The measured maximum strain value of fibre was.8, Figure 7: Axial load versus strain in fibres for repaired specimens which is less than nominal strain value of Test Parameters This investigation studied three different variables; namely spacing, orientation, layer of GFRP s and slenderness ratio. The purpose was not only to determine the ultimate load carrying capacity but also to identify the most suitable wrapping pattern of the repaired rectangular columns Effects of Spacing of GFRP s Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the comparison of compressive load for repaired specimens with different spacing of GFRP in series CL and CS respectively. From Figure 8, it can see that the specimen CL2 repaired with spacing of 6 mm attained an enhancement of 12 % greater than CL2 CL3 CL4 6mm 1mm 14mm Spacing Figure 8: Comparison of compressive load with different spacing (6mm 1mm, and 14mm) of GFRP s for repaired specimens in series CL CS2 CS3 CS4 6mm 1mm 14mm Spacing Figure 9: Comparison of compressive load with different spacing (6mm 1mm, and 14mm) of GFRP s for repaired specimens in series CS specimen CL4 with s spaced at 14 mm. Similarly specimen CL3 spaced at 1mm gained 8% greater than the specimen CL4. Similarly the specimens CS2 (spacing = 6 mm) and CS3 (spacing = 1 mm) attained 12.5% and 8 % greater than the specimen CS4 with s spaced at 14 mm. It was found that the increasing the spacing of s decreases the ultimate compressive load of the repaired specimens Effect of Layers of GFRP Strips Figure 1 shows the results of a comprehensive experimental investigation on the behaviour of axially loaded rectangular columns strengthened with different GFRP discrete s. From the result, specimen CL5 with two plies attained an enhancement of 12% greater than the specimen CL4 with single ply. It was found that, the confinement of columns with GFRP wrap increased with the increase number of layers of GFRP discrete s. This behaviour is similar to the Kumutha et al., (25) but they studied with continuous wrapping system but not in the form of discrete s. 83
8 It indicates that higher percentage of compressive load could be achieved by increasing the number of layers in the form of discrete GFRP s Effect of orientation of GFRP s Figure 11 shows the comparison of ultimate compressive load for repaired specimen with and ±45 orientations. Specimen CS5 repaired with ±45 s orientation attained a gain in compressive load of approximately 7.69% greater than the specimen CS4 orientated with s. This confirms that the specimen strengthened with two directions (i.e. ±45 orientation) had better and significant effect on the strength and stiffness behaviour of rectangular columns, CL4 (1 ply) Number of Plies CL5 (2 plies) Figure 1: Comparison of compressive load with different number of layers (1 and 2 plies) of GFRP s however, the result of Li et al., (23) does not show any significant effect with change in orientation because they wrapped the specimens in one direction with a orientation of 45 only CS4 ( ) CS5 (±45 ) Orientation Figure 11: Comparison of compressive load with different fibre orientations ( and ±45 ) CS2 CL2 CS3 CL3 CS4 CL4 Results shows that specimens with ± 45 orientation attained better enhancement than with orientation. It was also found that the orientation of ±45 shows significant result because the fibre s were orientated in two directions Effect of Slenderness Ratio Figure 12 shows the effect of slenderness ratio of specimens from series CL and series CS with slenderness ratio of 6 and 3.33, respectively. The strengthened specimens CS4 and CS2 in series CS with the slenderness ratio of 3.33 attained an enhancement approximately of 5% and 34% greater than the specimens in series CL with slenderness ratio of 6. Results confirm that the column with slenderness ratio of 3.33 contributed a maximum enhancement of 5% greater than column with slenderness ratio of Theoretical Investigation 2 The design guidelines 1 recommendations for columns strengthened with externally bonded FRP are generally based on a 6 mm 1 mm 14 mm confinement model, which is, based Spacing Figure 12: Comparison of compressive load with different on experimental tests with carry some slenderness ratio (6. and 3.33) for series CL and CS limitations. Some of the proposed equations and guidelines are developed from the results of fully confined specimens. This research intend to such theoretical models for columns strengthened with discrete s. The test results obtained from experimental work were compared with existing ICBO (1997) i.e. International Conference of Building Officials and 84
9 Mander et al. (1998) Models. From Figure 13, it can be seen that the ICBO Model shows poor agreement with experimental results however the Mander Model predicted better results when compared with experimental results. Results show that the ICBO Model shows poor agreement with experimental results; however, the Mander Model predicted better results when compared with experimental results 6 5 Experiment ICBO Mander CL2 CL3 CL4 CL5 CS2 CS3 CS4 CS5 Figure 13: Comparison of experimental values with existing theoretical model Table 4.3: Comparison experimental result with existing theoretical models Specimen Experimental Theoretical Models Result (kn) ICBO % difference Mander % difference CL CL CL CL CL CS CS CS CS CS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This paper was conducted to study the compressive strength of reinforced concrete rectangular columns confined with externally bonded GFRP fabrics. This study investigated three variables included slenderness ratio, spacing, amount and orientation, and number of plies of GFRP s. From the experimental and theoretical investigations, following conclusions can be drawn: Experimental results show that the percentage gain in compressive load of the repaired specimens was ranging from 32% to 5% greater over the control specimens. It was found that increasing the spacing of s decreases the ultimate compressive load of the repaired specimens. Results show that the ultimate compressive strength of the repaired specimens increased with increase in the numbers of GFRP layers. Result indicates that specimen specimens strengthened with orientation of ±45 attained a gain in compressive load of 8% greater than specimen with orientation. Results confirm that the column with slenderness ratio of 3.33 contributed a maximum enhancement of 5% greater than column with slenderness ratio of 6.. The theoretical investigation shows that the ICBO (1997) model predicted conservative results, whereas, the Mander et al., (1988) model shows relatively better agreement with the experimental results. Recommendations: Experimental study is required the behavior RC columns confined with different types of FRP. Investigation is need on in larger scale to simulate the actual repairing work for the structural member. 85
